Bring to the stove and stir continuously over medium heat for 2 minutes, then add the dissolved mixture together with the previously mixed gelatin powder and water. Use a spoon to stir continuously until the mixture is well combined.
Note: During stirring, keep the milk mixture at a gentle simmer, avoiding a rolling boil, as this will cause bubbles to form on the surface of the milk.

Next, prepare a sieve and pour the blended mixture into it, filtering it 2-3 times. Then, pour it into a bowl containing caramel.

Steaming the cake
Use a piece of aluminum foil to tightly wrap the outside of the bowl. Next, pour a little water into the steamer and slowly place the bowl containing the mixture inside.
Cover it and steam the cake over medium heat for about 40 – 45 minutes. When the cake is done, use tongs to remove the bowl and take off the foil.
Run a knife around the inside edge of the bowl, then place a plate on top of the bowl and flip it over to transfer the cake onto the plate. And enjoy!

How to choose delicious, creamy avocados without bitterness
- Delicious, creamy avocados are those with a green skin and speckles of yellow.
- When buying avocados, choose those with a slightly yellow stem, as these are avocados that are just ripe and very tasty.
- Prioritize long avocados with green skin instead of round avocados, as round avocados tend to be more likely to be mushy and fibrous.
